The voltage used must be the same as that specified on this unit. Using this product with a higher voltage other than that which is specified is dangerous and may result in a fire or other type of accident causing damage. SHARP will not be held responsible for any damage resulting from use of this unit with a voltage other than that which is specified.

„

Volume control

The sound level at a given volume setting depends on speaker efficiency, location, and various other factors. It is advisable to avoid exposure to high volume levels, which occur whilst turning the unit on with the volume control setting up high, or whilst continually listening at high volumes.

-Precautions/Accessories-

„

Care of compact discs

Compact discs are fairly resistant to damage, however mistracking can occur due to an accumulation of dirt on the disc surface. Follow the guidelines below for maximum enjoyment from your CD collection and player.

Do not write on either side of the disc, particularly the non-label side from which signals are read. Do not mark this surface.

Keep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat, and excessive moisture.

Always hold the CDs by the edges. Fingerprints, dirt, or water on the CDs can cause noise or mistracking. If a CD is dirty or does not play properly, clean it with a soft, dry cloth, wiping straight out from the centre, along the radius.

„

Cassette tape

For playback, use normal or low-noise tapes for the best sound. (Metal or CrO tapes are not recommended.) For recording, use only normal tapes.

Do not use C-120 tapes or poor-quality tapes, as they may cause malfunctions.

Before loading a tape into the cassette compartment, tighten the slack with a pen or a pencil.

Cassettes have removable tabs which prevent accidental recording or erasing. Removing the tab will protect the corresponding side. Cover the tab holes with adhesive tape to erase or record again.

Notes for RDS operation

If any of the following events occur, it does not mean that the unit is faulty:

"PS", "NO PS" and a station name appear alternately, and the unit does not operate properly.

If a particular station is not broadcasting properly or a station is conducting tests, the RDS reception function may not work properly.

When you receive an RDS station whose signal it too weak, information like the station name may not be displayed.

"NO PS", "NO PTY", "NO RT" or "NO CT" will flash for about 5 seconds, and then the frequency will be displayed.

Notes for Radio text:

The radio text for 10 characters will be displayed steadily for 4 seconds and then it will scroll across the display.

If you tune in to an RDS station which is not broadcasting any radio text, "NO RT" will be displayed when you switch to the radio text position.

Whilst radio text data is received or when the text contents change, "RT" will be displayed.

Notes for PTY Languages:

When you press the DISP MODE button after entering the PS (Programme Service), PTY Languages mode will be selected. In this mode, PTY names will be displayed automatically in the local language where an RDS station is located. Eight languages (including English) are available.

If you tune in to an RDS station which is not broadcasting PTY language data, the PTY name will be displayed in English.

A PTY name may be displayed in English for a short time, until a signal determining the local PTY language is received.

PTY languages are also used for PTY-Search and EON-PTY operation at any DISPLAY MODE except PTY English.

About the "TP" and "TA" indicators:

In the following cases, the EON stand-by mode will be cancelled.

When you press the ON/STAND-BY button to enter the stand-by mode.

When the unit is switched to another band in the EON stand-by mode.

When you change the FM station whilst in the EON stand-by mode.

When a preset call is made.

Notes:

Whilst the same programme as the specified PTY (or TA) is being broadcast, the unit will not switch to an ON (other network) station.

If there are more than two other network stations, compare the strength of signal and tune in to the station with the strongest signal (EON-AF). If other network station has been stored in the preset channel memory, the unit will switch to that channel.

If you want to leave an ON (other network) station tuned in by the EON and return to the station you were receiving, press the EON button.

After the unit returns to the original station, the stand-by mode will still be active. (The "TI" or "PTY" will remain lit.)

The unit does not switch between ON stations. It returns to the original station.

If there is any problem with the ON station the unit switched to, "WEAK SIG" will appear and the unit will return to the original station.

If the signal from the ON station the unit switched to is very weak, the unit will search for another station with the strongest signal. However, if the signals from all stations are weak or not good (due to electrical noise), the unit displays "WEAK SIG" and returns to the original station.

"TP" "TA" Meaning

Not lit Not lit Does not carry traffic announcements nor does it refer, via

EON, to a programme that does.

Not lit Lit Carries EON information about another programme which

gives traffic information.

Lit Not lit Carries traffic announcements but not at present and may

also carry EON information about other traffic announcements.

To set the internal clock by the RDS time signal

You can set the interna l clock using the RDS time signal (RDS CT data). This is useful because the internal clock is set automatically from the time signal sent by an RDS station. Before setting, select one of the 24-hour or 12-hour display as shown on page 13.

Tune in to an RDS station (when its name is displayed).

Press the DISP MODE button to select CT.

Whilst RDS time is displayed, hold down the TIME button for at least 3 seconds.

If the internal clock has not been set, "CLOCK" will appear.

"RDS TIME" and "WAITING" will appear alternately. Wait until "COMPLETE" appears. (It will appear in less than 60 seconds.)

After the internal clock has been set, "COMPLETE" will be displayed for 3 seconds. Then the updated time will be displayed.

Press the TIME button to check whether the internal clock is displaying the same time as the RDS clock.

Notes:

When the TIME button is pressed whilst the RDS time is displayed, the RDS clock and the internal clock can be displayed alternately, which allows you to compare the time shown. If you have not yet set the clock display mode, "CLOCK" will appear.

Whilst "NO CT" or "CT" is displayed, the internal clock cannot be set.

If the signal from a station is weak or noisy, you ma y not be ab le to set the internal clock.

Note for clock-time and date mode: When the DISP MODE button is pressed repeatedly to select CT, the data (DayMonth-Year) will be displayed for 3 seconds, and then the RDS clock time display will appear.

The RDS clock time appears with "RDS", so that you will know it is not the internal clock time.

Notes:

If you tune in to an RDS station which is not sending clock-time and date (CT data) and you select CT, "NO CT" will be displayed.

If you are not receiving CT data, even though you are tuned in to an RDS station, "CT" will be displayed. The CT data is sent at the top of each minute.

If an RDS signal is weak or noisy, the clock time may be displayed as "- -" (hyphens) or it may not be displayed correctly.

You must check the clock's accuracy because the RDS time signal (CT data) may not be correct, depending on the station.

The data normally changes at midnight, Greenwich Mean Time (G.M.T.), not local time.

Maintenance

„

Cleaning the tape-handling parts

Dirty heads, capstans or pinch rollers can cause poor sound and tape jams. Clean these parts with a cotton swab moistened with commercial head/pinch roller cleaner or isopropyl alcohol.

When cleaning the heads, pinch rollers, etc., unplug the unit which contains high voltages.

After long use, the deck's heads and capstans may become magnetised, causing poor sound. Demagnetise these parts once every 30 hours of playing/recording time by using a commercial tape head demagnetiser. Read the demagnetiser's instructions carefully before use.

„

Cleaning the cabinet

Periodically wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth and a diluted soap solution, then with a dry cloth.

Caution:

Do not use chemicals for cleaning (petrol, paint thinner, etc.). It may damage the cabinet finish.

Do not apply oil to the inside of the unit. It may cause malfunctions.
